Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a thermoplastic molding composition and more particularly to a transparent blend that contains polycarbonate resin and atactic copolymer of PMMA.
- thermoplastic molding composition containing polycarbonate resin and a copolymer of methyl methacrylate conforming structurally to:
- x and y are integers calculated to result in a content of PMMA in the copolymer in the range of 80 to 90 mole %, and wherein x and y are integers calculated to result in a content of PMMA in the copolymer in the range of 80 to 90 mole %, and where R 1 denotes —CH 3 , R 2 denotes —C 6 H 5 and R 3 is a C 1 -C 2 -alkyl group.
- composition is useful in preparing transparent articles, including films.
- Polycarbonate resins are characterized by dimensional stability at relatively high temperatures, excellent resistance to impact, stiffness and transparency. These properties make polycarbonate the material of choice for a variety of applications including glazing containers and medical devices.
- a notable drawback characterizing this resin has been its susceptibility to scratching.
- Polymethylmethacrylate (“PMMA”) known for its clarity and scratch resistance is noted for its shortcomings in terms of dimensional stability, low impact strength and relatively poor thermal stability. While some blends of polycarbonates and PMMA reflecting a more attractive profile of properties are known, it is also known that a wide range of blends with typical PMMA are immiscible and opaque. It has been suggested that free radical polymerized PMMA does not form a single thermo-dynamically miscible transparent blend but does demonstrate mechanical compatibility with polycarbonate. While this compatibility is taken to mean that the phases exhibit good adhesion one to the other, the resulting blend is not transparent.
- Literature relative to mixtures of polycarbonate and PMMA include U.S. Pat. No. 4,319,003 that disclosed opaque blends. Also noted in this connection are JP 7216063 and EP 297285. Ways of overcoming the drawbacks associated with the immiscibility of PMMA and polycarbonate have been proposed. These include the addition of copolymer additives (DE 2264268); PMMA/acrylamide copolymers (DE 3632946 and PMMA-ester copolymers containing carboxylic groups (U.S. Pat. No. 4,906,696). Further, transparent blends of PMMA and polycarbonate are said to have been prepared, in accordance with DE 3,833,218, by melting the two components in the presence of supercritical gas. U.S. Pat.
- the present invention concerns a thermoplastic molding composition containing polycarbonate and a specifically structured copolymer of methyl methacrylate (herein “COPMA”).
- COPMA methyl methacrylate
- the composition containing about 5 to 20, preferably 7 to 15 percent of a suitable COPMA, the percent being relative to the total weight of polycarbonate and COPMA is characterized by its transparency.
- the inventive transparent blend may be processed thermoplastically in accordance with conventional procedures and using conventional means.
- Aromatic polycarbonates within the scope of the present invention are homopolycarbonates, copolycarbonates, branched polycarbonates and mixtures thereof.
- the polycarbonates generally have a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 200,000, preferably 20,000 to 80,000 and their melt flow rate, per ASTM D-1238 at 300° C., is about 1 to about 65 g/10 min., preferably about 2 to 15 g/10 min.
